CAST Offices

Long before it reached today's popularity, CAST embraced the "home office" approach as en excellent way to deliver both superior service and outstanding value to our IP customers. Most of us still work primarily from home, enabling the 24-hour, super-fast response support for which we are known.

Our headquarters are in New Jersey near New York City, and several employees are situated in and around that area. We also have people in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, and North Carolina.

Our main CAST engineering office is in Brno, Czech Republic. Bus and interface experts there lead our in-house development in these areas. They're augmented by USA employees who develop serial communication, multimedia, and other cores, and lead our innovative work in designing, packaging, and delivering semiconductor IP for easy reusability.

Technology Partners

Our tight relationships with expert IP developers means customers of most of our products can still speak with the actual developers of their specific IP cores.
